Nice points, you two.
I agree, for the most part.
Many times I have tried writing songs using every bit of technical knowledge I know, but they don't turn out good. I just try to follow the rules, but it just ends up plain-sounding.

one example of that would be like... the V7 chord... perfect example.. when music was first beginning to be written down, no way... this chord didnt even exist, and now its an avid part of composition. It was just something someone thought might work, so they added that extra interval on to that chord and poof, the jazz chord was born.

Well, I don't know how often it was used, but that chord is a naturally occuring chord in the major scale. So it wasn't just invented for jazz. There are ways to use it that sound very classical, as well.
